a brief explanation and discussion of the search & discovery @PalantirTech and #foundry enable through their ontology. @ssankar what do you think? $PLTR youtu.be/1PARR2zfPDE

I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.

To be fair i think this was the one time slot made a decent analysis of the game. If curtis didn’t move up to press the player who was already blocked off for the passing lane, the pass that actually occurs and leads to the goal doesn’t happen. Overall though, having to be in a back 5 is inexcusable. Still would take a lot to think slot can turn things around.

I'm actually struggling to understand the people on here that seem perfectly fine with us being bypassed so easily. This isn't normal.

Great write up. Only one thing i would point to is that winning the league seemed to fuel some crazy hubris. Before, he was calm, pointing towards Klopp, keeping that going with small tweaks. I even backed him as better than klopp for managing a game better. However, winning the league made his attitude become much more “oh yeah? you seen me win that tin pot trophy in my first go?? I’m going to revolutionise this now and play amazing possession football” and put all the success down to himself. We sold premier league WINNING players (darwin, diaz, elliott, kelleher, quansah) to finance a some sort of technical football vanity project. I think we just needed to add Wirtz into our squad for when we needed to break deadlock games and to help unlock darwin a little more. If we didn’t get anyone else in, maybe bar replacements for trent and diogo which were annoying and highly unfortunate, respectively, i reckon we challenge if not win the league again. The league win cost us a bright decade.

I used to never miss Jurgen's press conferences. Now i avoid Slot's press conferences.

@gracecamille_ It’s handsome squidward with hints of perry the platypus

I just can NOT place who he looks like…. I know it’s a cartoon spy….

@AndyJScott @eliano @uncledoomer youtube.com/playlist?list=… i try to explain the very basic concepts here- there’s obviously a lot more not covered, and then even more they’ve built in the past 3 years since!

@eliano @uncledoomer what would you point someone to read who did want to have an understanding what palantir is

>go to the palantir merch store to look at their merch >it gives you the option to decline cookies

Nailed it on why i think i’m edging towards slot out. I question whether i’m being too harsh on him but it always comes back to the fact that even if we’re winning, he’s too dependent on the individual players pulling something out the bag. That model isn’t sustainable. And his general callousness with treating the squad guys doesn’t sit right with me. Not to mention the gutting of our title winning squad last year. We needed one massive addition like Wirtz and then our normal unknown gem signings. I think the title got to his head a little. His remarks from last year saying “oh i just tweaked a little bit the klopp plan” went out the door once he saw silverware and if he did well to keep the continuity in the first season, i think he felt validated to put “his mark” on the club this season and it hasn’t worked (yet). There didn’t seem to be any considerations on workrate, physicality, and general squad cohesion- just go and sign the most expensive stars. Obviously the business side with edwards and pierce brosnan need to be in the mud too but the footballing side just lacks identity.

Klopp not being here is so funny

The difference in those poor klopp seasons was the injuries were so bad we had to go so deep into our squad that the individuals just simply couldn’t make the passes to execute the system, but the system was still there. When the system was executed we had good success. In general the feeling was: we have a chance even if our best players were out because everyone up from the first team and down to the academy was trained in a certain style. Here we have the better talent, but no system. That’s the problem. Sure some injuries have played into it as well this season but there is no sense of trust in the next person coming in as we can see from the likes of chiesa, endo, and so on. That’s the worrying part. We are now relying on individually gifted players to pull us out of things- which always leaves you exposed if one of them is out.

We play a pseudo super offensive style. But in reality, we just cannabalize our own players’ space and make defending so easy for the other team. It always feels like we have 3-4 players standing in the same spot getting in each others way. We need van dijk and konate a third deeper and covering for jones and gravenberch playing riskier passes ahead of them. Instead it feels like vvd and konate have to do the playmaking it’s ridiculous.

Slotball hurts my eyes. Can't take anymore. Results better lately but performances are clearly not. Can't handle any more. #SLOTOUT Agree???

@DeepValue47 @mikepat711 You should try a death valley triple IPA 😵‍💫

Merry Christmas from Philadelphia

@LFCLaurie If he stays though it could be a sign that slot really is on the chopping block and he’s willing to wait it out?

If Chiesa doesn't get a start against either Wolves, Leeds or Fulham, he should be putting a transfer request in as soon as the full-time whistle has blown.

Aren't you taking a risk starting your own company?

Ready to get some reading and watching done this holiday break. What are movies I should be watching that I may not already have?

I don’t understand… you’re making the case for Palantir? Are you against Palantir or DGSI? No one else can provide the solution as you point out; some say 15 years away, some say too fragmented, some say “nearly there” forever? So sure maybe DGSI/french government wishes it’s people were better at tech and they’re not satisfied with themselves that they can’t foster that and as a result have to use Palantir which is the only working solution. I don’t think your conclusion on the subtext that “palantir isn’t trusted” is correct or in good faith. Even if it was, the alternative surely isn’t to use nothing though, is it? Even if you did that and use nothing, and take 15 years to build the french solution, the whole game is already changed again once you’ve made “french palantir” 15 years from now. And palantir is at the heart of the next tech craze, whatever it may be, which dgsi then contracts again to “palantir palantir”. That’s the best situation. Worse is you’re overrun by organisations that take advantage and completely change the meaning of being french because there was no protection just so you could be patriotic and have a french alternative. I understand if you’re pointing at DGSI failure, but putting that on palantir and wanting it removed sounds like the wrong conclusion to me.

Palantir replied 👇to my post on their French intelligence agency contract with, as expected, a lot of lies and gaslighting. Their main argument seems to be "there's no issue and for proof the French are so satisfied they keep renewing." This is completely false. The fact is that Palantir was always meant to be a "transitional" solution before a French alternative could be developed. That's according to the DGSI themselves as quoted in Les Échos, France's leading financial newspaper (lesechos.fr/tech-medias/hi…). Guillaume Poupard, the head of France's National Agency for Security of Information Systems, also confirmed this in an audition to France's National Assembly (assemblee-nationale.fr/dyn/opendata/R…): "regarding Palantir, there is an overall will to create a trusted French alternative". Subtext: Palantir isn't trusted. The background is that Palantir was initially adopted as an emergency short-term measure in the wake of the November 2015 terrorist attacks, the deadliest in the history of France. There was, understandably, panic at the time to get fast solutions in place to prevent the next attack, and Palantir was the only option so the DGSI *reluctantly* adopted it. Since then, there have been multiple attempt to get rid of the dependency. These include: - Programme Artemis (Ministry of Defense): launched to create a sovereign French architecture for massive data processing, involving Thales, Sopra Steria, Atos and Capgemini. Problem: they're insanely slow, they're saying it'll take them 15 years to develop a solution (shs.cairn.info/revue-defense-…) - The "GICAT" project: a consortium of 22 French companies coordinated by GICAT (defense industry group). Problem: this is a very fragmented offering where they try to replicate Palantir with several companies that each offer part of the features and have little interoperability (shs.cairn.info/revue-defense-…) - OTDH Tender (2022): the most serious attempt - a formal procurement process launched by the DGSI. Started with 9 candidates, narrowed to 3 finalists: Athea (Atos-Thales alliance), ChapsVision, and Blueway. A migration was even planned before the Paris 2024 Olympics. For some obscure reason, it didn't happen but, according to ChapsVision, "we're nearly there" (franceinfo.fr/vrai-ou-fake/c…) So no, the truth is that the DGSI is very much NOT satisfied with Palantir and has been actively trying to get rid of it. So much for the satisfied customer story Palantir is trying to sell in their response... Also, on a technical level, their main argument is "but the data stays in France". That's not the main issue at all. The main threat with Palantir, and we've seen the U.S. use this repeatedly in their warfare (for instance against China or Russia), is a coercion scenario whereby, if France ever took a position seriously adverse to US interests, the US could pressure Palantir to stop providing updates/support, withdraw personnel or even operate a kill switch to shut down the software. And poof, suddenly the software that constitutes the "central architecture" of France's intelligence services stops working. That's not far fetched at all, ask Russia which saw U.S. software companies pull the plug overnight in the wake of the war in Ukraine. Also, France might control the data but they surely don't control the code, and that's pretty damn important for sovereignty. Yes, on an air-gapped system, real-time data exfiltration is implausible. But the more insidious threat isn't what the software sends out, it's what it chooses not to show. An algorithm can be designed to deprioritize certain results, miss certain connections, fail to surface certain targets. If Palantir's software is quietly blind to threats the US doesn't want France to see - say US-protected assets - how would France ever detect it? Gaps in results are invisible and completely deniable. This requires no internet, leaves no trace, and is unprovable without source code access, which France undoubtedly does not have. So all in all, this is an insane vulnerability for a country's core intelligence infrastructure and France knows it. You don't launch three separate programs to replace a software you're happy with. France isn't renewing because they're satisfied, they're renewing because they haven't managed to get rid of Palantir yet. Palantir says "pragmatism, not ideology, is what will keep France safe." I completely agree. And the pragmatic thing to do here is not to run your intelligence services on code you can't see, from a country you can't trust. That's not "technically illiterate national chauvinism," it's simply common sense.

I think it’s easier to manage because it’s A) smaller by land mass so you quite literally need less police etc to govern B) (potentially because of A) people have bought into the collective rights culture rather than individual rights culture which then keeps it easier to manage as population density grows

Singapore public transport is insanely efficient I’m surprised we don’t have this in London: - tap card when you get on - tap card when you get off - no physical tickets - buses/trains actually on time - very clean - everyone is respectful and quiet Seriously why can we not manage this in Europe???

What is this new @premierleague schedule?? Where are my flurry of winter games!? #PL

At liverpool he has to play with his back to goal and with very little space because teams primarily defend and go for a draw. This is much different to the counter attacking, “running onto the ball” style he got to enjoy much more at newcastle (because teams think they can actually get more than a W against newcastle and leave more gaps to facilitate actually attacking) and is more suited to his game. It’s pretty simple. Maybe injuries are compounding this change in style as well.

Genuinely I cannot even explain what has happened to him, I have no idea.

@JsonBasedman They need to get all SEO traffic they can from people searching for palantir’s products… it’s a no-brainer if you think about it

Honestly still can't believe they called it Foundry
